Dyeing Cotton 1

The cotton dyeing industry is a fading trade in Myanmar. The last few remnant villages around Inle Lake still dye and dry cotton cloth by hand, the traditional way. This is a photo taken of a Burmese lady, who is on a boat and drying her recently dyed cotton cloth on bamboo stilts.
